"Deceptively effortless indie-pop. Conjures up images of a bunch of goths who've gone on a surfing holiday by mistake." Reply

"Coming eight years after bridges to Babylon, a bigger bang is one of the stones strongest albums for years, although a little too long again. It's got some brilliant cuts in streets of love, biggest mistake and laugh, I nearly died. The best track has to be the funky, rain fall down, one of the b..." [+] Reply
"I was able to find a nice copy of this album recently. This was popularized on KSHE 95 radio back in the day and they still play Pavlov’s Dog from time to time. This is a great listen." Reply

"With 'Boces' (the follow-up to their debut masterpiece, 'Yerself Is Steam') Mercury Rev's Dave Fridmann and Jonathan Donahue have proven to be arguably the most creative artists to have emerged on the scene since Mayo Thompson. Beautiful pastoral sounds of the flute merge with sonic collages, fre..." [+] Reply
"This is a divisive album as Benson transitioned from "real" jazz to smooth/popular contemporary jazz. Purists decry it while casual jazz fans laud it. Even as a hard core jazz fan, I think it's excellent. One just need set aside preconceptions and listen to it for what it is, which is certainly b..." [+] Reply

"The peak of the Faces' career. "Cindy", "My Fault", "Late Side", "Glad and Sorry", and "Ooh La La" are all excellent songs and come basically one after another. Rod's vocals are fine as ever (on the ones where he bothered to show up), and the talented band show off their skills, albeit in a more ..." [+] Reply

"Pin ups, is David Bowie's covers album. Similar to Bryan Ferry's, these foolish things, but where as that was pop as well as rock, pin ups, is set in the late sixties rock scene. Featuring versions of The Who, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, and, The pretty things, it's all enjoyable, with the cover of Th..." [+] Reply

"RIP DOOM. Another great album, I can hear this guy rhyme for hours without getting bored. That's that is one of my favourite verse of all time from any artist." Reply
"There is a charm hidden with this album. There is a great about of effort put into every song. Each songs theme will be represented with diverse samples and beats. Unfortunately, there is far too much material. This album could be split into three different albums. This just makes a lot of the sp..." [+] Reply
"The album that got me into the charlatans in a big way. They finally hit their stride with this, a big improvement on the previous realeases, and self titled the album as a sign of it, somethink not often done on for a 4th album. The 3 albums that followed it were better but this is still a great..." [+] Reply
